This blog documents the changes the FriendFeed engineering team makes to the FriendFeed source code. It may not be interesting to you if you aren't an engineer. Heck, it may not be interesting to anybody. We put it here because we are trying to run our company a little differently — with more transparency and more accountability to our users. Plus, now you can watch Paul break and fix the site in virtually real-time. Sweet.

We've edited out changesets about future/secret releases, changesets that looked too boring ("merge branch"), and changesets that have too many cuss words in the description (yes, we had you in mind with that rule, Bret).

description: Add a debugging option --identify_templates which emits comments
indicating the source template file for each section of output (HTML/XML only).
Useful for finding the template file responsible for sections of output that
are difficult to grep for.

description: support for installed applications in frontend and backend per conversation with Gary, templates that create/edit applications have option to create an installed application disabled right now
